Hyperloop to Succeed Tests for the First Time at 192 mph

On July 29, Hyperloop One completed Phase 2 of testing, almost
reaching the full distance of the 500-metre DevLoop track in the Nevada desert.

The Hyperloop One XP-1, the company’s first-generation pod,
accelerated for 300 meters and glided above the track using magnetic levitation
before braking and coming to a gradual stop.

Shervin Pishevar, Executive Chairman and Co-founder of
Hyperloop One, said that that was the beginning and the dawn of a new era of transportation.
They had reached outstanding speeds of 310 km an hour and were excited to show
the world the XP-1 going into the Hyperloop One tube. Pishevar also added that
when someone would hear the sound of the Hyperloop One, they would hear the
sound of the future.
